Liam Barger: 1B/LHP, (2026) Archbishop Hoban, OH. 5-foot-11, 225-pound. (69.5 mph bat speed average). (20.4 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced quiet stance with a controlled load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed was developing, used a loose uphill swing plane and high finish. Solid while in the infield, made throws at velocities up to 70 mph; had sure hands, choppy footwork, and a natural exchange. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Used a quick arm action and a high ¾ slot.
